Hello YA Readers!

Hope your entry into the world of YA Literature has been enjoyable thus far!  

As you are reading your self selected YA works for this week, be sure to keep in mind what Moon (1999) says about characters as you read:

Characters are imaginary identities constructed through reports of appearance, action, speech, thought, and so on.  Traditional reading practices assemble these reports to produce a "person."  Modern practices explore characters as representing a set of beliefs and values.  We can think therefore of character as an element of narrative "code."
